Getting Started

Your online webstore has two parts.
The first part is an ordinary website, which contains pages of information
and product listings and descriptions from your store. If you do not
already have a website, or you wish to have your own domain name, NetStores
provides low cost hosting and domain name registration. The second part
of your store is hosted at NetStores
and contains information on your inventory of products, your orders,
and the look and feel of your shopping cart system. Think of NetStores
as the cash register and your website as your storefront.

Searching your
webstore

In addition to the standard shopping
cart services, NetStores allows
your customers to search your inventory of products. The look and feel
of the search results are easily configurable to allow you to match
your store's aesthetics with the NetStores
search results aesthetics. The search results can contain links back
to each product listed in the search, as well as thumbnail images and
many other features.

Step by step
guide to setting up your store

To change your website into a fully functional online
webstore, you need to:

Create an item file with
information on your products. You can do this either through NetStores
Merchant administration area, or with your own software (like a
word processor or preferably spread sheet or database program). See
creating / uploading your item file.

The NetStores
E-Commerce system is highly configurable and contains many more features
than are possible to list here. To get more information on NetStores'
E-Commerce system, or to see if we can meet your specific needs, you
can contact NetStores
and we will help you out.
